According to an aspect of the inventive concept there is provided a body monitoring system for monitoring a dehydration status of a user of an exercise equipment, the system comprising: a set of hand electrodes including at least 5 one hand electrode, a set of foot electrodes including at least one foot electrode, an impedance measurement circuit connected to the set of hand electrodes and the set of foot electrodes and arranged to measure a body impedance between any pair of electrodes of the set of hand electrodes and the set of foot electrodes, and a processing means arranged to receive an 10 input signal representing a measured body impedance from the impedance measurement circuit and output an output signal indicative of the dehydration status of the body based on the received input signal.
